The Authors' PREFACE:
THIS book has been compiled for the use of those who are satisfied that beginners in French should be exercised, from the first, both in reading connected French speech which has an import, and in imitating what has been read.
The compilers recommend that the teacher, if there is time, go through each piece of French and each Retranslation Exercise with the pupils before setting them to work by themselves. But it was plain that, at the beginning, a teacher, a vocabulary, and notes were not enough, and that too much help could not be given. "Preparations" have therefore been given to pieces 1-88. The difficulty has been to decide at what point Notes should begin and "Preparations" stop. To enable the teacher to decide this point quite freely, the French text has been divided into two equal parts—forty pages with "Preparations," forty without. A slow class will find ample material for one year's work in the first section; a quick class can pass from any point to the second section and yet have enough to fill the year.
In pieces 1-18, the compilers have thought it more important to be easy than to be interesting; irregular verbs and difficult idioms have been avoided. The pieces that follow gradually become more interesting and more difficult.
The Vocabulary covers the whole book and contains the words which are given in the Preparations.
